[2]Leninis referring to Weissbrot’s telegram of November 20, 1919,
reporting on the extremely grave situation created in Orenburg
by the spread of a typhus epidemic. The absence of firewood and
lack of medical personnel made it difficult to combat the epidemic.
For the fight against typhus, Weissbrot pointed out, it was
necessary to increase the number of hospital beds in Orenburg to five
thousand and to transfer an additional two hospitals.
